Jammu and Kashmir: Student who joined 'Islamic State Jammu and Kashmir' returns home
Srinagar, Dec 3 (IBNS): A Kashmiri student, who went missing on Oct 28 and later purportedly joined the Islamic State Jammu and Kashmir (ISJK), returned home on Sunday, media reports said.
He has been identified as Ehtisham Bilal.
He was a student of the Greater Noida-based Sharda University.
The police detained him immediately after he returned home.
He was reportedly detained for medical-checkups.
A top police official told The Hindu that Bilal’s return was “possible due to the concerted efforts of the family and the police and he may not face any case once he joins the mainstream.”
“Yes, he (Ehtisham) returned home. However, the police detained him immediately and shifted him to the local police station. Hope he will be released soon,” Ehtisham’s father Bilal Ahmad Sofi, a resident of Srinagar’s Khanyar area, told The Hindu.
The police told the newspaper he has been “detained for a medical check-up since he was not keeping well”.
